- Energiekontor AG, a leading project developer and operator of wind and solar parks, engages in the planning, construction, operational management, and ownership of renewable energy facilities primarily in Germany, the United Kingdom, Portugal, France, and the United States. Founded in 1990 and headquartered in Bremen, Germany, the company operates through three main segments: project development and sales of wind and solar parks; power generation from its own portfolio of 39 wind and solar parks with approximately 444 megawatts of nominal capacity; and operation development, innovation, and other services including technical and commercial management, predictive maintenance, direct power marketing, rotor blade extensions, and repowering initiatives. Its core offerings encompass site acquisition and business development; permitting and approvals; financing via project bonds, loans, and equity; construction oversight with partners like Nordex; sales to investors, municipalities, or utilities; and long-term management generating recurring cash flows through electricity sales, settlements with suppliers and landlords, and coordination with banks and insurers.
Energiekontor maintains a robust geographic footprint with offices in multiple German locations including Bremerhaven, Aachen, Augsburg, Berlin, and Hildesheim, alongside international branches in Leeds and Glasgow for the UK, Lisbon for Portugal, Toulouse for France, Nijmegen for the Netherlands, and Austin for the US. The company targets municipal authorities, private investors, infrastructure funds, energy suppliers, and strategic buyers, pioneering subsidy-independent projects at market prices to advance the energy transition. It employs around 259 staff and trades on the Frankfurt Stock Exchange under ticker EKT.DE, with a history of uplisting to SDAX in 2022 and TecDAX in 2023.
In recent developments during 2025, Energiekontor achieved financial close on multiple wind park projects including Haberloh and Heidkrug in Lower Saxony, and three additional sites set for 2027 operation with Nordex turbines, bringing 19 projects totaling over 610 megawatts under construction, of which more than 200 megawatts are earmarked for its own portfolio. The company sold two 40-megawatt wind projects to the city of Elsdorf, a German wind park to SachsenEnergie after its May 2025 commissioning, and a ready-to-build project to multiple private investors, completing four sales in the year while advancing further transactions in Germany, Scotland, and abroad. These activities reflect a record construction peak, with 12 financial closes for 326 megawatts in 2025 alone, alongside founders securing long-term ownership via a foundation and an expanded project pipeline exceeding 11 gigawatts.
